Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Classic Monoface Origin quartz silver dial blue leather strap 32,5 x 16,3 mm

Reverso Classic: Timeless Elegance in a Feminine Form

Born in 1931 to meet a sporting challenge, the Reverso was imagined for British polo players. Its patented reversible case (CH159982) protected the crystal from shocks while preserving its refined silhouette. Very soon, it left the playing fields to become an Art Deco icon, renowned for its geometric lines and instantly recognizable double-face design.

In the 1930s, Jaeger-LeCoultre began creating Reverso watches for women — wristwatches, clips, and pendants — opening a new field of expression where delicacy meets graphic precision. The Reverso Classic Monoface Origin pays explicit tribute to this lineage: it reintroduces a historic size of 32.5 × 16.3 mm, directly inspired by the very first Reverso for women from 1931. Designed for slender wrists, it blends timelessness and modernity within a silhouette of great purity.

Faithful to the spirit of personalization that defines the model, its polished solid back becomes a true canvas for engraving or lacquering — with up to 1,880 combinations possible — allowing each Reverso to be transformed into a unique piece.

The Purity of Art Deco Style

With its polished stainless steel case, the Reverso Classic Monoface Origin embodies the very essence of Art Deco design so dear to Jaeger-LeCoultre. Every detail reflects the geometric harmony and disciplined proportions characteristic of 1930s aesthetics.

The dial, of timeless refinement, combines a sunray guilloché center with a vertically brushed finish around the periphery. This dual surface treatment captures light in subtle ways, revealing a play of textures that gives the composition its depth. The transferred Arabic numerals and minute track complete the ensemble with clarity and balance, hallmarks of the Classic line.

This reference Q3878520 is distinguished by its deep blue alligator leather strap, elegant and feminine, its hue echoing the blued hands. With a simple motion, the solid caseback can be revealed and personalized — through engraving, lacquering, motifs, or messages — making each timepiece an intimate, unique creation imbued with emotion.

Reinterpreting the form and codes of the 1931 Reverso for women, the Classic Monoface Origin bridges past and present, craftsmanship and modernity, in a refined expression of feminine elegance.
